David from auspOp said "While there’s nothing innovative about what’s on offer here, the song choices work with her voice quite well.Her cover of "Photograph" sends shivers down my spine, especially when you take the context of the lyrics and apply them to the storyline of the show. It’s not the most exciting release from Jess, but there’s still time left this year for a set of originals."
